Incorrect Go type generated for nullable PostgreSQL enum columns #3969

Description

Version

1.29.0

What happened?

When a PostgreSQL enum column is defined as nullable (i.e., without the NOT NULL constraint), sqlc generates interface{} instead of the configured go_type from the overrides section in sqlc.yaml. This occurs even when a go_type override is specified for that enum type.

Expected Behavior:

sqlc should respect the go_type override in sqlc.yaml even when the database column is nullable. In this example, sqlc should generate the EnumCol field with type string.

Current Behavior:

sqlc generates the EnumCol field with type interface{} when the database column is nullable.

Relevant log output

Database schema

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "uuid-ossp";
DO $$
BEGIN
    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM pg_type WHERE typname = 'my_enum') THEN
        CREATE TYPE my_enum AS ENUM ('value1', 'value2');
    END IF;
END
$$;

CREATE TABLE my_table (
    id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(),
    enum_col my_enum DEFAULT 'value1' -- Note: No NOT NULL constraint
);

SQL queries

Configuration

version: "2"
sql:
  - engine: "postgresql"
    queries: "./db/query/"
    schema: "./db/migration/"
    gen:
      go:
        package: "db"
        out: "./db/sqlc"
        emit_json_tags: true
        overrides:
          - db_type: "my_enum"
            go_type: "string"
